NH Freedom Ride

"As an American asked to serve, I was prepared to fight,
to be wounded,to be captured and even prepared to die,
but I was not prepared to be abandoned."

Neither International Law nor the Geneva Conventions makes any mention of individuals carried by their countries as Missing/Captured or MIA-C. We realize that our enemies violate the rules of international law and the Geneva Conventions regarding the care and treatment of captured American Service Personnel. Terminology will not change that. Terminology does change world perception regarding the value we place on our captured personnel.
